The Baader-Meinhof effect is possible. I did also recently learn about the ALA's president's philosophy towards library management, so I could be drawing parallels between that and what the MIT is doing when there's none. I w

It might just be me, but the books that were made open access seems to have a distinct slant at first glance. I wonder if the list is intentionally curated with some ideological goal in mind, the way the American Library Association does wi

Please keep your CRT style racism and conspiracy theory out of the discussion.

Yup, you'll find the same notion with the NYT and the WP.

How is that different from WP's and NYT's editorial board, which does the same thing, except for an opposing ideology?

Your portrayal here doesn’t seem intellectually honest. Suppose he claims that the Flying Spaghetti Monster probably doesn’t exist. Remarking that “‘probably’ is doing some immense heavy lifting here” would certainly give the impression tha

Whatever you think the Sokal Squared hoax[0] does or does not demonstrate, you have to admit the papers are pretty humorous: Who Are They to Judge?: Overcoming Anthropometry and a Framework for Fat Bodybuilding [1] Separately, Alan Sokal ha

My first prompt is to test for ideological engineering of some sorts with the LLM itself (not Ollama). Unfortunately, it reinforces my concern that such a tool can be used to enforce fiction or contested views by whoever is in power. Imagin

I wonder how that guy will manage an introductory calculus textbook, let alone subsequent topics like analysis. Talk about a difference in rigour.

I think the issue is more technically dubious than political. I'd refer to this investigative feature by The British Medical Journal (BMJ)[0], as well as the follow up[1] of clinicians and researchers alike. [0] https://www.

Indeed. The Guardian is a source I consider to be fairly ideological on certain topics, and belongs to the camp that would largely be in support of gender-affirming care. Yet despite their bias, even they gave a decent review of the book. F

For those reading, comments are an unreliable proxy for politicised topics such as this. As such, if you want to be certain about what your beliefs are (as opposed to blindly inheriting the opinions held by your bubble), always go to the or

I'd strongly recommend anyone interested in this topic to find sources outside of the US. The foundation of these studies are largely dubious, consistent with the kind of replication crisis you see in the medical field. Throw activism

If you're not ideologically invested in this topic and are sincerely interested in the truth, I'd urge you to look at your own country from an outsider's point of view. The point being, many sources in the US that were reputa

You're conflating pragmatism with "position of privilege". You're free to disagree whether "let it go" is ideal or not. However, assuming "privilege" here is just bad faith and discriminatory; you&#x2
